About Peoria
Our Journey Begins
Welcome to Peoria, your trusted source for news and insights dedicated to the vibrant city of Peoria and its surrounding areas. Founded in 2017, our mission is to bridge the information gap and keep our community informed, connected, and engaged.
A Story of Passion and Purpose
The idea behind Peoria was born out of a deep-rooted love for this wonderful city and a realization that reliable, up-to-date local news was not readily available online. We set out to create a platform that would become the go-to resource for all things Peoria, from community events to local business spotlights and in-depth analyses.
Milestones and Achievements
Over the years, Peoria has grown exponentially, marking several milestones:
- 2018: Launched our weekly email newsletter, keeping readers informed about the latest trends and topics.
- 2020: Expanded our team to include dedicated reporters and editors, ensuring a robust content pipeline.
- 2022: Celebrated our 5th anniversary, reflecting on our journey and the positive impact we've had on the Peoria community.
Our Purpose and Core Values
At Peoria, we are driven by a simple yet powerful purpose: to empower and connect our community through accurate, unbiased, and engaging content. Our core values are:
- Accuracy: We strive for excellence in journalism by fact-checking, verifying sources, and maintaining the highest standards of integrity.
- Unbiased Reporting: Our news is impartial, presenting both sides of a story and allowing readers to form their own opinions.
- Community Engagement: We believe in building a dialogue with our readers; your feedback and participation are invaluable to us.
Filling the Information Void
The internet is a vast resource, but when it comes to local news, there was a distinct void that Peoria set out to fill. Many national outlets lack the depth and focus on community-specific stories that we provide. Our goal is to deliver content that reflects the unique character of Peoria, from its diverse neighborhoods to its thriving arts scene and ever-evolving culinary landscape.

We ensure the reliability of our information through a rigorous fact-checking process, cross-referencing multiple sources, and employing industry-leading fact-verification tools.
